Wilmette Family Photographer

Wilmette's stunning North Shore setting — with its lakefront beaches, historic architecture, and beautifully maintained parks — provides some of the most gorgeous photography locations in the greater Chicago area. I'm honored to serve Wilmette families with my natural, authentic approach to photography.

Gillson Beach and Park is an absolute treasure for family photography. The beach setting with Lake Michigan as your backdrop creates portraits that are both timeless and uniquely North Shore. I love the variety this location offers — the sandy beach for playful family photos, the harbor for a more nautical feel, and the grassy picnic areas for relaxed, candid moments. During summer evenings, the sunset over the lake here is nothing short of spectacular.

The Wilmette Village Center and its surrounding neighborhoods offer a charming, quintessentially North Shore backdrop for family sessions. The tree-canopied streets, beautiful gardens, and stately homes of Wilmette create an elegant yet warm setting. I've photographed families along the Green Bay Trail, in the beautiful Mallinckrodt Park, and throughout the picturesque residential blocks that make Wilmette such a sought-after community.

For Wilmette families with newborns, I bring my gentle, calm approach directly to your home. The beautiful homes in Wilmette often feature exactly the kind of natural light that makes newborn photography magical — large windows, bright rooms, and that soft North Shore light that filters through mature trees. In-home newborn sessions let us capture your baby in the most authentic, comfortable setting possible.

Whether it's a family session at Gillson Beach, a milestone portrait in one of Wilmette's beautiful parks, or a cozy in-home newborn session, I bring the same warm, professional approach to every family I work with. Based in nearby Skokie, I'm just minutes away and deeply familiar with all the best photography spots Wilmette has to offer.
